Of the 17 different penguin species, 12 are suffering rapid decreases in numbers.
Thus, rapid decreases in infiltration rates during a rain are more likely to occur in clay-rich soils than in sandy soils.
And for countries that depend a good deal on government spending to generate growth, rapid decreases in spending have meant sustained economic stagnation or outright recession, making every dollar of debt that much harder to pay back.
"The rapid increase and two subsequent rapid decreases in her speed, combined with the already fast pace, still leave me skeptical of her swim's authenticity," said Malinak, a geotechnical engineer in Seattle, who has swum around Manhattan.
In contrast to previous similar analyses, we separated peaking events into rapid increases and rapid decreases.
After intravenous administration, CM are distributed rapidly into extracellular body compartments, and rapid decreases in plasma concentrations can be measured.
This is consistent with rapid decreases in concentrations of CPY in surface water after changes in patterns of use (see the 'Measured concentrations in surface waters' section).
Li/Si undergoes significant softening in the form of rapid decreases in elastic modulus and yield stress as lithium concentration increases.
Such stress-response differences led to universal "two-stage" photogenerated strain behavior, with rapid decreases under low applied loads and steady linear decreases under relatively high loads.
More rapid decreases in salinity possibly lead to lower hyposaline endurance, since some bivalves cannot change the densities of osmolites in their cells quickly enough (Shumway et al. 1977).
Competition with and disturbance of wild ungulates (snow leopard prey) is increasing, and hunting pressure – greatly amplified by radical improvements and increasing availability of firearms – has led to rapid decreases in wildlife populations.
